This season, Mao, Caro, and Rochette seem to be under enormous pressures.
I feel that Mao's pressures seem to be mostly coming from her obsession with 3As rather than outside pressures. The media has not been as crazy as it was with Miki 4 yrs ago. They have also been consistently supporting. She is a media favorite in a warm way. Besides, Mao seems less concerned about how others may think of her than Miki did. She has a strong focus on her skating. If anything, being hit on so many subtle DGs would have affected her psycho a lot.
Rochette is very different from the last year, which seems due to the Oly pressures.
It is surprising that Yuna seems pretty lighthearted despite some vulnerabilities. Yuna certainly seems under the heaviest national pressures. But she's coping well.
I count on Miki for possibly being strongest under pressures. After all those dramas for many years, she may be most resilient. As the saying goes, the one who saw the hell may be the strongest:yes:
I honestly do not quite see what's happening with Lepisto. Why is she so inconsistent? Is she under pressures for being Euro champ?
